Mosaic of Learning Experiences. Xai-Xai, Chongoene, Mozambique: The School as a Playground for Learning

The school is the fundamental collective core for reducing vulnerabilities and social inequalities in a country where “the 70% of the population lives below the poverty line. In Mozambique, one in five children has not had access to a formal education; preschool education is neither compulsory nor free…and 14% of children between two and nine years are disabled” (Archstorming, 2019). Used to interact in the shade or outdoors, this proposal takes up local habits that recall the etymological origin of an aula: A school as a Playground for Learning where classrooms become courtyards and viceversa, as the etymological origin of the word aula (classroom) in latin.
